Chances Are.....

what chance do we have, when we have so little to give yet nothing to lose? when too many things are at stake, what else can we put as an offer? perhaps nothing. i don't know, it's hard to know for sure. it feels like gambling, putting everything on the table without any knowledge or assurance that either we could win all or end up losing everything? why is it so hard, even what we want is just a chance for happiness?
